W.A.T.E.R. Safety Presentation

Free W.A.T.E.R. Safety Training for Everyone

At Garden City, we believe every child should know the basics of water safety. That’s why we developed a special 20 minute W.A.T.E.R. safety presentation we offer to young children at schools, daycare centers, and other educational facilities for free. The entertaining, information-packed presentation is interactive and even includes a visit from our mascot Bubbles.

This interactive program is a fun and structured lesson great for students ages 3-7 years old focusing on the following goals:

Introduce the concept of water safety

Educate the children about the importance of water safety

Help the children learn safety methods and avoid potential dangers in and around the water

Educate children about ways to handle water crisis situations

Provide materials and information to the children in an effort to prevent water related accidents

Playdate at the Pool

Quality Time at 90 Degrees

Some parents see our Playdate at the Pool as a great opportunity to spend quality time with their kids enjoying a fun, unique activity. However, a few see it as a convenient excuse to play in the 90-degree pool they enviously watch their kids enjoy during swim lessons. Regardless of your motivation, you’ll want to give our Playdate at the Pool a try.

There’s no need to make a reservation unless you’re bringing more than ten people and of course, there’s no need to worry about the weather. Just show up, suit up and jump right in. You’ll be happy you did.
